Mr.. Editor: Please do me the favor
to correct the statement made in your
last issue, to the effect that this school
had been placed under the auspices of
the NJ L. connection. This is a
serious mistake, due, l presume, to
misinformation The school has, until
recently, been held in the Zion Church,
and its influence mainly has been ex-
ercised in Zion's behalf. As yet, it
is bound by no correctional ties, but
is owned by a private individual.
When first founded it was intended
for the Zion connection, provided
Zion would extend to it that encour-
agement and fostering care necessary
to its future success. That intention
has not been rescinded, but no final
action will be taken in the matter, or
transfer made until other buildings are
erected Gone for the accommodation
of visiting students and another for
an industrial department), which will
probably be some time during the
summer, or early fall With reference
to the property l would say that in
addition to the cottages mentioned
there has been erected and furnished
nice school building at cost of near
$4,000. Yours respectfully.
d. G. SUGGs, Principal.
TThe statements made in this paper
we're from information given by Pre-
siding Elder r. Smith, of the NJ. L.
Church, and Of course we thought it
true in every particular. We do not
want to do injustice to any one. We
hope the school will be continued, as
it is a blessing to the colored youth of
that section. Ed.

be dealt with by the moral and rcli-
gious leaders of the people.
There is no party issue, nor race
issue in this question, but democrats
and republicans, black and white are
all alike interested and should forget
the failures and successes Of the past,
and every man and every woman,
trust in God and do the right. In
free country like ours every man has
a right to his opinion, and the privi-
lege to express it, and he should be
allowed to vote his sentiments, let it
be for whiskey or against whiskey.
We are taught that one of the duties
of a christian minister is to tell the
people what things are evil for them
to do, SO the people may shun the evil
and do right. Some people tell us it
is right to drink, dance, gamble &c.
We are not here to condemn any one,
but appeal to the sober, calm reason
of the Christian and thinking voters of
Charlotte to do in this prohibition
question what to them seems their
Christian duty, and if they have any
doubts as to the right way, let them
Take it to the Lord in prayer"
This paper is not the organ of any
party in this matter, but the editor
like other men, and the paper like
other papers, have the right to speak
on public questions, and we have our
opinions and presume to offer word
of advice when we think it need
ed. We were not at all instrument
al in bringing about the issue, but it
is upon us and our duty is plain one.
Very little time was acquired for us to
make up our mind. We shall vote
our convictions, because it is duty
devolving upon every citizen.
All churches and all Christians unite
on this question, regarding whiskey as
one of the greatest enemies against the
church and christianity. But, if a
professor and even preacher should
think and act with the drunkard and
gambler and harlot, he has the right
to vote with them, and if his influence
in his church is not affected, or his
standing in the community is unchang-
ed, this paper shall not be used to
abuse him. For we have said that a
man has right to his opinion and we
are willing for all to vote the way
they think right. Let none allow
prejudice to control them. If you be-
lleVe whlskey is an evil, why not re-
move it from our midst? The rich
man will have it if he wants it if he
has to send to New York for it. The
poor man who is the real sufferer will
do without It if it is taken out of his
reach and he will spend his hard earned
money with his family, and our streets
will not be infested with that disgrace
full evil often seen on our Streets
drunken women. Let the men vote
to protect the women and children who
cannot protect themselves.

ECZEMA

Or Salt-Rheum, is an eruptive disease,
covering the skin with minute pimples
which are filed with a colorless fluid.
The eruption is attended with pain, heat,
violent itching, and intense smarting.
When the pimples break, their watery
contents poison and inlame the skin, and
sometimes form thick crust. Without
appropriate treatment this disease is liable
to last for months and years. Eczema

OUR CITY ELECTION.

The city election passed off very
quietly last Monday The principal
scenes of interest were the End and
3rd wards, and in these the buying
and selling Of votes were pretty lively.
We regret it, though we believe it is
true beyond the shadow of doubt,
that number of the leading white
men of the city together with several
''poor white trash" and cheap darkies,
spent the day in Ward 3, running
down and hiring men to vote their
ticket They succeeded in buying up
a sufficient number of votes to elect
the white ticket and defeat the colored
ticket.
1t is unnecessary to discuss the legal
phase of this question, but it is truly
a curse on our city that we ought to
be rid of. But who is responsible for
this state Of affairs? In ourjudgment
it is the white men who offer to buy
and pay these poor ignorant men for
their votes. 1t is something like the
case of Jacob and Esau. 1t is known
the Negro is poor and hungry, advan
tage is taken of his poverty and he is
tempted with shining dollars by men
who are far more morally corrupt
than he.
The man who sells his vote or re-
ceives money for it is an nnfit subject
for the recognition of decent people.
The white man who paid these colored
men for their votes would not trust in
their employ one so dishonest and
traitorous as to sell the dear bought
and precious boon-his ballot. The
white men who did this buying contri
butte largely toward corrupting the
morals of colored and poor white men
and putting upon the community an
increased number of worthless pliers.
The poor hired white man who did
much of the running and trading, are
not thought of by their masters after
they are paid off-(he was only noticed
that day and for that purpose). The
poor niger" that sold his vote last
Monday for one dollar, dollar and a
half and two dollars, did not only lose
the respect of his purchasers, his
friends and all decent people, but he
lost respect for himself. 1t is as much
the privilege of colored man to vote
for white men against colored men as
to vote for colored men against white
men, but when poor "nigger" goes
to the polts, accepts money and for
that, votes against his sentiments, that
"nigger" bears watching, and if his
record is searched closely it will be
found that he is escape goat" and a
rascal.
There was another class at the polls
last Monday: The workers poor
miserable wretches colored men hir-
ing themselves to white men to run
down. boy and corrupt their own race
in the interest Of democrats against
the best colored gentlemen of our city.
May the Lord have mercy upon such
things--they are not men. We dis
like to publish these things to the
world, and would not from hearsay,
but we know whereof we speak and
have in our possession a list of the
'snigger' pimps. We say to the world,
for the good name of our city, that
while we may not have any more of
these bad people, they are very bold
and daring. Many of them have
crossed the line from our sister State
"for cause" and many others have
served out terms in our county and
State prisons.

fathers moulder.
